I guess I’m not the only one in the industry today acknowledging the fact
that the rate at which Tiwa Savage is putting in the shift on the music
front is incredible. Right about now, which other female has the record of
Tiwa for having as much chart topping songs either as her own personal
songs or as a featured artiste? I guess none. Put on the radio or tune into
your favourite music channels, the evidence is plastered all over.
Voluntarily or involuntarily, Tiwa is having everyone spellbound.

Apart from Tiwa’s rated songs like ‘Malo’ ft. Wizkid, ‘All Over’
and ‘Sugarcane’ (what a vibe), other singles she’s been featured on are all
over the music charts. To be as accurate as possible, I Googled her name in
relation to recent materials and the long list of trending songs that pop
up is impressive. ‘Diet’ by DJ Enimoney ft. Reminisce, Slimcase and Tiwa
Savage. Her spin on this song is like ice cream (sweet and yummy). Then
came her feature on Ladipoe’s ‘Are You Down’ which was such a feel good
music. DI’Ja’s ‘The Way You Are’ (Gbadun) ft. Tiwa, that combo is good for
a music menu. The chart topping Reekado Banks’ ‘Like’ ft.Tiwa speaks for
itself. B-Red’s ‘Connect’ ft. Tiwa and her feature on Sauti Sol’s ‘Girl
Next Door’ sounds like it’s made in heaven.

She has so much great content all around her. These days, everything this
First Lady of Mavin records and Roc Nation’s flag bearer touches turns to
gold. How many times over the years have we had that notion that there are
several issues limiting the ladies from working hard as much as their male
counterpart but Tiwa’s record in the last twelve months seems to have
shattered those perceptions. Mama Jam-Jam can do no wrong.

So you think you’re a true-blue New Yorker, huh? What’s your fondest memory of living in the city that never sleeps? What’s the best pizza spot? What’s your favorite hood? Absolut wants to know such answers and have put together a NYC-centricmini-documentary about New York City in which some of your favorite artists and just everyday people talk about their perception of the Big Apple and why it differs from every other city in the world.
Featuring the likes of Jim Jones, Miss Info, and Stretch Armstrong, The Absolut Truth is a composition of 8 New Yorkers giving their take on everything from who has the absolute best pizza in New York to which New York establishment they’d bring back from the dead.

This will all culminate with the one day opening of an iconic NYC venue for a one-night only event this Spring courtesy of Absolut. Could it be Studio 54? The Tunnel? The Palladium? Who knows but best believe it’s going to be L-I-T.

Check out some of the videos below and let us know which spot you think will be re-opened for a one night stand come this Spring.

A now-deleted tweet from the Twitter account of Hip-Hop veterans Eric B. and Rakimtook aim at young artists within the genre, prompting a viral spread of the message that the “devolution of rap music” was underfoot. The God MC himself stepped forward to stress that he’s got no issue with young rappers, although he did say some of the content is less than positive.

The Feb. 12 tweet read, “You are now witnessing the devolution of rap music. The death of poetry and smoothness, they use this. The absence of a message. The inability to create meaningful change through words and verses, but the worse is, they don’t even know they hurt this artful purpose, it’s tragic.”

Rakim spoke with TMZ Live exclusively about the tweet, and says he had nothing to do with the statement.

“The tweet was put out by an Eric B and Rakim tweeter, and I really had no information on it,” Rakim explained. He went on to praise the younger generation for keeping the culture moving, but suggested that fans can and should demand more by way of content.

Adapting a novel into a film, particularly one cast and set up to be a blockbuster success, is a difficult enough exercise as is. Adapting a novel like Jeff VanderMeer’s Annihilation, a minimalist and cerebral sci-fi thriller about the terrifying possibilities of biological mutation, seemed near impossible considering…

Here’s more proof that your local elections, even in a town of 25,500, can make a difference: On February 20, the Board of Aldermen in Starkville, Mississippi, rejected a request to hold its first-ever gay Pride parade with a 4-3 vote.
